Hole interaction (thin plate)

perforate.hole_interaction Step 05 · Boundary Conditions

An option of the thin-plate physics baseline: reduces the end correction of each hole because its neighbours share the oscillating air mass around it. The reduction grows with the open-area ratio.

Theory

The end correction of an isolated hole is the mass of air set in motion beside it on both sides. When holes sit close together their near fields overlap, so each hole carries less extra mass. The end correction is multiplied by a factor fint(σ)≤1f_{int}(\sigma) \le 1:

  • Elnady: the short form 1−1.47σ+0.47σ31 - 1.47\sqrt\sigma + 0.47\sqrt\sigma^3 of (Elnady et al., 2010) eq. (11), equation (1); the Elnady impedance model always uses it.
  • Fok: the Fok function ψ(σ)\psi(\sqrt\sigma), a series in ξ=σ\xi = \sqrt\sigma, equation (2), with the coefficients as listed in Elnady's doctoral thesis (Elnady, 2004) (Paper III, eq. 39). It multiplies the end correction; the thesis notes that an older formulation divided by it.

Default and rule

Default
none
Rule

None (f=1f = 1, the isolated-hole end correction).

Source

(Elnady et al., 2010) eq. (11); the Fok series as listed in Elnady's doctoral thesis (Elnady, 2004), Paper III eq. 39.

Valid range none | Elnady short form | Fok function (thin-plate physics baseline only)

Effect

At σ = 0.1 the Elnady factor is 0.55 and the Fok function 0.57: the end correction roughly halves.

Applies to

The thin-plate physics baseline only.
